Britt’s Pantone Pick: Monaco Blue and Lika Behar

November 6, 2012byBrittany Siminitz

Welcome to Britt’s Pick, a weekly feature on my blog, On Your Market. Each Tuesday, I’ll select an eye-catching piece from JCK Marketplace and tell you a bit about it. Of course, with jewels this beautiful, the pictures do most of the talking.

Of the 10 much-hyped colors from the Pantone 2013 Spring Color Report for women’s fashion, I’m most enamored with Pantone color 19-3964: Monaco Blue. It’s classic and elegant yet still trendy and unexpected; something that I imagine would carry nicely from the office to an early spring cocktail party. But who’s waiting for spring? I’m already scouting out my upcoming holiday party dresses in the cool hue. That’s why my Pantone pick this week is Lika Behar’s Rosalie necklace, a gorgeous rose-cut blue sapphire surrounded by bezel-set diamond accents. Its deep blue center stone would complement any ensemble and its free-form shape adds an artsy touch to the timeless overall look.
